I love this technique of just shading the rough shapes in first - so useful! Got a bit carried away on the final one with the details. Also tried to keep the gestures subtle, maybe too subtle here, not sure... I found the gestures were added to each individual plank more than the buildings themselves...

Wanted to create some simplified versions of buildings here in my town. Took a while for the penny to drop for me here... Figured the trick is to be subtle and not care too much about perspective and more about the shape. Tried to adjust the different factors such as curve vs. straight lines vs, lean and distortions to give the buildings the feeling I was looking for.

Sketch Journal pages 6 & 7.
I'm sure glad this thread exists because I like to post now and then, but getting through some of the tutorial videos takes me a while (I'm presently working my way through Drawing Basics' Draw Any Pose From Any Angle).
Anyway, still working out the whole Ink Thing. Page 6 is messing with a few extremes.
Page 7 is a drawing from life highly idealized.

Sketch Journal page 5: The Lounge.
This critique video on Dynamic Shapes is really long. So how's about another sketch page?
The sketchbook I've chosen for my Sketch Journal is littered with old drawings. Page 5 is such an example. A while back I was sitting in a lounge and began sketching what I saw. I later made a watercolor illustration from the sketch. Attached are the original sketch and the resultant painting. I spruced up the sketch with some ink and watercolor pencil for this post.
My favorite part is the guy in the back nursing a glass of rye. The rest needs help, but I've no idea what form that help would be. So, any suggestions, including layout, would be appreciated.

Sketch Journal page 4: Three Guys In Ink.
While working on getting through another critique video, I thought I'd submit another page from the Sketch Journal. The thing about sketching in ink is, there are no erasers — so there's no wrong lines. Just lines you haven't figured out how to incorporate yet. Also, you'll note I tried my hand at the Uni Posca White ink pen. *ooh boy* Tricky business.
So, if there's any brave souls out there who know a thing or three about ink without under drawing first, I'd be grateful any suggestions.

Level 1 - torso boxes from imagination. I found this way harder than level 2, to draw from photos. I struggled with imagining poses...

... and #28 Skull. I can't believe this is done! I wish I could re-do many of them though... Oh well, on to the next challenge!
